Does a triangle have a hypotenuse?

Only right triangles have hypotenuses.


Are some right triangles are also equilateral triangles?

No because all right triangles have 2 legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg so right triangles can't be equilateral triangles.


What is the hypotenuse leg theorem?

If two right triangles have (hypotenuse and a leg of one) = (hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of the other) then the triangles are congruent.


What is the hypotenuse leg therom?

If two right triangles have the hypotenuse and leg of one equal respectively to the hypotenuse and leg of the other, then the triangles are congruent.


What is Hypotenuse Leg?

If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.


What is the hypotenuse angle theorem?

The hypotenuse angle theorem, also known as the HA theorem, states that 'if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.'


Which are congruence theorems for right triangles?

If the hypotenuse and a leg of two right triangles are the same measure, the triangles are congruent


Is the term hypotenuse associated with obtuse triangles?

No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.


Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles?

No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D


How is hypotenuse represented in right triangles?

It is the largest side


What does the Pythagorean theorem state and which triangle does it apply to?

This particular theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two sides of a triangle always equals to the square of the hypotenuse or the biggest side of the triangle. It applies only to right triangles. Right triangles have only one right angle and is always opposite to the hypotenuse.


The dose the Pythagorean Theorem only work on right triangles?

I quote " The square on the hypotenuse of a rightangled triangle..."
